Taking care of the employee is the first step in making sure they will take care of your customer!
Companies often forget that in order to get the best possible employee productivity they must recognize the employee’s effort!

Don’t limit your employees so that they can’t make a decision that is right for your business and saves the customer!
“If we don’t take care of our customers, someone else will.”UNKNOWN
44. 44 Ways to offer Inspiration… Send out cards thanking employees for good behavior and “Inspire” them to keep up the great work!
Set Goals! Employees will feel rewarded when they accomplish them and feel inspired to reach the next goal!
Hold contests! Do you have multiple locations where you can have some friendly competitions running?
Bring in Speakers! Do you have company meetings? This is a great opportunity to bring in a motivational speaker to re-energize your organization.
Have fun at work! Behavior falls down stairs….meaning if your employees see that you enjoy your job it will inspire them to have more fun!

Is the reward appropriate?
Is it sincere?
Make a BIG DEAL!
Do it in front of as many co-workers as possible!
Reward often!
